GRcade Secret Santa 2023 - Reveals Pg13

Each of my gifts rattled. Two of them were VERY rattley, one more muted.
We had guessed Lego mini figure in the card, a Lego set in the box and a jigsaw puzzle in the tube.

I feel before I post the photos, I also need to mention that on my list of dislikes/allergies, I had put:

Please, no mugs, I have so many mugs

You might already see where this is going... :lol:

We start with the card. To find a handful of tiny, dollhouse mugs :lol:

Hahahaha, yes very droll. I exhaled rapidly from my nostrils.

Then I decided to open the box. Assuming a Lego set was a safe bet.
...guess again:

More. Mugs. I'm laughing at this point. My wife is laughing, the kids are losing their minds :lol:

But also, a really nice CNC'd aluminium (?) Proton Pack Christmas tree decoration... Which also smells like pot purri!
This will be on the tree every year. :wub:

thank you Santa :wub:

And then.. the tube!
There's no possible way, I'm already laughing. It can't have more mugs inside it. Yet, we're all laughing, because we know that it does before I've even popped it open :lol:

T'was not Ad7 nudes (shame :cry:

), but instead a fantastic quality print of this classy Ghostbusters artwork. Absolutely love this!
This has gone back into the tube to stay safe until I get a frame in the next few days :wub:

And of course, MORE MUGS! U WOT M8!? ARE YOU TAKING THE PISS SANTA?!

:slol:

Honestly, Santa, if you're reading this, I love it.
I'm going to try and incorporate a mug or two in my Warhammer models for lulz :wub:

Looks like your SS should have bought you this as well.

To whoever my Santa is thanks a lot! I always get spoiled every single year somehow so I'm really, really thankful.

I guess whoever you were read that I have a few Gunpla now but I'm too scared to put them together, this series looks a little bit easier to put together. I've never actually watched 00 yet but I need to get on it since it's pretty much the only series I haven't seen and I loved all the rest. Also as someone who loves eevee I love the Megablocks set and that's something that definitely should be easy enough for me to put together :slol:

. Also out of the big chocolate brands I think Celebrations are my favourite at Christmas, I hadn't actually bought myself any this year so they were perfect. :toot:

There was also a hell of a lot of Candy cane in the box, but rather than leave it on the floor next to the presents I put them in the cupboard. I've never actually eaten Candy Cane before so interested to give it a taste :toot:

Thanks as well for the card, I hope everyone here has a great day as well. Appreciate the Home Alone reference too :toot:

The tiny mugs :lol:

some excellent gifts in here! glad you liked it moggy.

to my ss: we dont do presents till after lunch so ill post this eve

Thanks Santa, very sweet gifts! Have a good Christmas whoever you are

Even has bob interested

I’ve been well and truly spoiled by my Secret Santa. Ill post some pics up in a bit but its been the shining light of a pretty rubbish Christmas where I’ve been ill all day.

I’ll do full reveal tomorrow when I’m hopefully feeling a bit more human.

Thanks very much to Secret Santa for my fabulous gits. I've already scoffed the coins. I'm having my annual battle with Imgur and will upload some pics when I can.

Jazzed you beautiful man you :wub:

The Japan guide is absolutely going to be looked at extensively in the next 2 months as we gear up and prepare for the trip.

Also #JanewayDidNothingWrong

Photo uploads have just not worked for me today but I'm very happy with my gifts!

I got a whisky stones set with a bottle stopper, whisky stones and a pair of tongs - these will get very well used - and I got some Arsenal themed beer mats which I love :datass:

Also got some Roses, some nice coconut ices and a little stocking of sweets for my son which he was pumped about :wub:

Thanks Santa, happy Christmas!

Lol the mugs

It is cnc aluminium yes. And a good idea too as a round end mill can make rather short work of a line design like that. The trick (the hard part) is to not over complicate the design.

I did something for laser recently that turned out something like 25 metres of total travel and 2 hours per 10x10cm coaster ffs lol

Makes a mess too.

Great work everyone :wub:

I'm so sorry to my SS, I completely forgot to open the gifts yesterday :oops:

that'll teach me to leave them deep in the cupboard...

Will grab them later today and report back with photos and much much gratitude!!!

And yeah, incredible work everyone :wub:

I've been smiling widely and laughing myself silly (the mugs!!!) catching up on the hauls!

You are of course tremendously welcome!!! So grateful for your illustrative post history, it made gift research a breeze :toot:

Justice for Janeway!!!

I feel thoroughly spoiled by my Santa - I got a Sonic Lego set, some very nice chocolates, and two books that I'm intrigued to get into - a history of Blackadder and Murdle which is a murder puzzle book that I've had my eye on!

And Chalmers informed me that there's a PSN code for something else as well - haven't had a chance to get to that yet. So yes, very happy with what my Santa provided! :toot:

So finally got on the PC to upload pics.

I got a nice card with a £15 Xbox Voucher, a Predator tank for my new Horus Heresy army, a starter infantry set for Legions Imperialis (which I've been considering starting for a while) and then a book 'Always room for Christmas Pud' which my boy finds hilarious.

Huge thanks to LewisD for my gifts massively appreciate it.

Now onto the reveals;

THE REVEALS

I love you lot, you're all amazing every single year and makes me love this forum even more each year. Once again a huge thanks to everyone who took part! It’s always amazing seeing everyone’s kindness each year.

Without further any further delay;

Moggy! I strawberry floating knew it! :slol:

As soon as I'd finished opening it all I said to my wife that it'll be Moggy, he did a similar thing last year with Sarah and the Nuts!

Thanks Moggy :wub:

More like muggy amirite

You forgot to show everyone the front of the card! :lol:

You're very welcome though JC :wub:

I hope the Predator fits into your Army plan nicely.

I have Murdle 2 and it's quite easy going but therapeutic.

I need to change my shtick for next year. :lol:

I'm so glad you liked the gifts!

I almost bought you this, but my wife was worried it'd scare your children.

The proton pack decoration is from BenofKent, I couldn't stretch to the full replica, but managed to find something affordable on there for you!

And I couldn't resist the mugs. :lol:
